The concept the an entire town may be unreal, got me interested. I was especially interested in the doctor, and how a person should react to his method of fringing a recovery when there was no physical harm. I was not sure if the accident still took place in mind or the alternative place, so I'm still a little confused about it. In general I think I understood what was being told (such as the ghost appearance is different to each person because it is psychological reason that everything you see is something you want to see at some subconscious level) but at the end of the game I was doubting myself if I interpreted your story right. Maybe I'm bad at reading surreal stuff. I do hope you could find someway to make things clearer, but in doing so you it may cause the VN to lose it's enigma which is part of it's appeal.

Your art is different more realistic and and I like how you chose darker colors to fit the mood. You did a very good job drawing picture and picking music for the VN. The visual cues were all there, especially with the dad and the t-shirt.

What I would've liked, is if you could talk a little more about the main character's history since it seems to play a big part to the story. I understood that he took off with the car for pizza delivery and that he wanted to find an "out" from his life, but from a logical perspective I think it's not a really convincing reason to commit a crime for that reason. Maybe a story flashback to explain his reasons further so the players can relate to the main character?

As for your interpretation of the ghost and such, you pretty much got it right. The reason why it looked different to everyone was because everyone had different things in mind when they went to the house. Things just started to get weird with Dion's version of it (The Muse) because of plot reasons that just haven't been revealed yet. I do intend to make things more clear over time. Some stuff will still be left open for interpretation, but you shouldn't find yourself lost in the full version.

I'll probably get more into Dion's past and mindset in the full version as well. Though, you're probably right that I wasn't clear enough at the beginning as to why he would do something so dramatic. I'll try to add a bit more to the opening monologue and such. Adding more pictures there might help, too.

Dion: So when do we start?
Jacob: The full version.
Dion: What?

Me: MWAHAHAHAHA! Down with the fourth wall!
(At least, that's what I would've done if I'd made it.
